Coaching is like having someone "running alongside you" in life, giving you the extra input and insights that can really make a difference to your success.

Coaching is like a synthesis of the manager to believe in his team and help them set bigger goals... to break down the goals into 'do-able bits'... a personal trainer that will keep the team moving along the path and a coach to give feedback to help improve the performance, set perspective, encourage and suggests new ways of tackling situations.

A Coach works one-to-one over an extended period of time. This way the work is targeted and focused to the organisation's need, plus the coach is able to make sure that his team really develops new skills and habits.

Personal Counselling is:

• A cooperative venture between the counselor and you to help you resolve a personal problem.
• A positive step when you are concerned or stumped about what to do.
• An educational and growth-oriented experience.
• Short term, with clear purposes, to help you take charge of your life.

People face a variety of challenges which affect their personal growth, emotional well-being, and success in life. Conflicts and problems often arise which prevent people from reaching their full potential. People may find that their usual ways of handling problems aren't working well for some reason. They may find, for example, that talking to friends or relatives about their concerns does not seem particularly helpful in the long run.

We help people identify, understand, and develop skills to resolve their concerns. Counselling is an educational process which enables a participant to learn more about himself or herself. It is a chance to talk over what is on your mind with an objective person who can help you learn new skills and new ways of looking at situations, so that you will be more capable of solving future problems on your own.

People often seek counselling to:

• increase self-confidence, assertiveness, and self-esteem
• control test anxiety or cope more effectively with stress
• deal with problems involving alcohol or drug use
• develop more satisfying relationships and better communication skills
• deal with issues of grief, trauma, or loss
• overcome procrastination or other self-defeating habits and behaviors
